Lu Ping cried for a long time before she regained her senses. As she sobbed, she used a handkerchief to wipe the tears on her face.

"Tell me, what happened?" I comforted her softly.

"When I went there, Ni`er was already exhausted and her face was completely red. Seeing that I went there, Sister Gong knew that the Young Miss had sent me, so she pulled me to the front to take a look. I saw the corner of the girl's dress rise and wanted to pull it on her. I just touched it and I knew that her body was already scalding hot. " Tears rolled down Lu Ping's face as she said this.

"Later on, Sister Gong fed the piece of film given by Miss to the girl for her to drink. Only then did the girl wake up a little bit." Lu Ping wiped her tears with a handkerchief, cleared her throat, and continued, "I only found out after asking, last night, that the girl was already hanging on to her life by the chip that Miss gave her." Hearing this, I couldn't help but be astonished. Yesterday, when Second Wife Gong came to thank me, she said that she wanted to see if she could survive last night. It wasn't that she would recover after last night.

My nose stung, and I wanted to cry, but my mother and grandmother were happy with Aunt Chen's recovery and Hongyu's happiness. How could I not be happy?

More tears welled up in Lu Ping's eyes and dripped onto the table. Not long later, a large portion of her tears splattered onto the table.

"Go back and get twenty taels of silver. Go to mother Gong's house and see if you can help her. Don't come back to grandmother's place again." I didn't want to hear any more of these details from Lu Ping. Listening on would only make my heart hurt, and I couldn't help but cry. The moment I shed tears, the makeup on my face would be seen by my grandmother and mother.

"Yes, miss." Her handkerchief was soaked, and she wiped the tears from her face. I pulled my handkerchief from my sleeve and handed it to her.

The makeup on Lu Ping's face had long since dried up, and her clothes were a bit messy. If she went out like this, it would only make people feel that she was very immature, and if news of this were to spread into her grandmother's ears, it would make her unhappy.

"Sit here and wait." I told Lu Ping, and she nodded, still wiping her tears with her handkerchief.

"Elder Sister Hongyu." I stuck my head out the door and cried out, and Red Jade came out of her ear chamber with a 'yes' and followed me into her room.

"Sister." "My mother gave birth to five children, and in the end only one survived." The red jade eyes sparkled and became watery.

The chances of a child dying prematurely was very high, and everyone knew that. However, the feeling of being by their side was different.

"Help her pack up! You can't go out to meet people like this. " I said to Red Jade, pointing to Green Pink.

"Yes." Hong Yu agreed and took off the cover on the mirror beside her. She then held onto Lu Ping's hand and sat down.

"I'll let you go after cleaning up. It can be considered a part of my heart." I pulled at the hem of my clothes and secretly pinched my own palm. At least I was able to calm down a little.

Walking out of the door, I found that the sky outside was already completely dark. A thin spring breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of plants and vegetation, but I didn't feel any sense of relaxation.

Inside, my grandmother and mother were still sitting on the kang, chatting about the customs of marriage. Both of them had a leisurely and happy expression on their faces.

"Grandmother, Mother …" I plead as I sat down in my seat. Grandmother looked at me with a smile. Her eyes were very clear, but my mother frowned. "Why have you been gone so long?"

"It's nothing, just some chore in the yard." I reached out and touched the embroidery on my sleeve. It was heavy and elaborate.

"Since Aunt Chen is fine, and I'm not feeling too well, bring Chong Yuanyuan to take a look for me." Grandmother had a faint smile on her face. What did Grandmother mean by this?

My mother lives in my grandmother's yard, and I'm still at my grandmother's mercy. Then she definitely didn't send me to check anything out. What does Grandmother want me to do?

I looked up at my grandmother, who had no particular expression on her face. Her eyes were slightly lowered as she stared at the pink teacup in her hands.

"Mother, where is Yuanyuan going? After all... " His mother looked troubled. She was his father's concubine after all.

"It's fine. Sooner or later, she will be married off. It's good for her to go and have a look at a woman's childbirth." Grandmother smiled at her mother.

Mother seemed to be moved by this and obediently agreed. She got up from the brick bed and walked forward to help put on her shoes. Mother quickly stopped her and said, "Who would dare to work for mother!" After hiding in panic, I went forward to help my mother put on her shoes.

"Mom, I'll send Yuanyuan back later."

Grandmother waved her hand. "You can go back after you've seen it." This is for me.

I nodded, saluted, and followed my mother.

When I went out, my two girls and my mother's maidservants were standing on either side of the door. My mother and I followed our respective masters.

"Your grandmother's health hasn't been very good these days. Come and accompany her often." This is really strange. In my previous life, my mother used to keep me in the courtyard to learn how to compose and sing. In my current life, I didn't have anything like that, and that abacus was taught by my grandmother herself.

"Yes." Even if my mother didn't say anything, I still planned to do so. I smiled in response and went over to support my mother's arm.

Entering the room, Aunt Chen was sitting on the bed, wearing her pajamas and a small jacket. Her forehead was smeared with makeup, and she was sewing on the bed. Seeing that my mother and I were about to leave the bed and bow after entering the room, my mother stood by the door and said with a smile, "Quickly, lie down on the bed." When Aunt Chen heard this, she sat on the bed and replied with a smile, "Many thanks Madam."

I went after my mother, and the maidservant who was sitting beside her took an embroidered block and placed it in front of her bed. I sat on that block, and my mother sat on the cushioned armchair at the side, and then the maidservant brought me tea, and my mother took it and put it on the table at the side, so that I could only hold it in my hand.

"Are you feeling better today?" Her mother looked at her with soft eyes.

"Your servant is much better." She was only two and a half months pregnant, her stomach was flat and calm, her face was exceptionally pale, her face was not as full as before, her pair of big eyes were even more watery, and her voice was gentle and lovely. Not to mention a man, even I felt a bit of pity for her, no wonder I only said a few words, and Mother already wanted to get rid of her.

Then who was it that stopped my mother? I asked the person beside my mother, who else could be so smart and decisive other than the smirking mother?

"What did Aunt use tonight?" the mother asked.

Mama Chen answered respectfully, "Aunt had five dishes tonight: celery, cashew nuts and shrimp, corn lotus root ribs, fried tofu with eggplant, fried quail egg, fried quail, carrot and carp soup, a bowl of white porridge and a silver roll with cream."

At that time, Grandmother gave Mama Chen to Aunt Chen. I thought it was because of Aunt Chen's love for her, so I let my mother serve me by my side. Mother clearly thought so too, and was even angry for a long time. Although Mama Chen was Aunt Chen's mother, she was actually her master and servant. Aunt Chen did not listen to Aunt Chen's words because she did not respect filial piety. Aunt Chen did not listen to Aunt Chen's words, but she did not abide by the rules.

The mother nodded in satisfaction. "No matter what Aunt wants to eat, you don't need to come back to me. You can just go and say it." Mother Chen quickly kneeled down and complied. Aunt Chen lowered her eyes to express her gratitude, but her face became increasingly pale, and the redness on her lips became all the more shocking.

"You should go back earlier." Mother said, turning to me.

"Yes!" Right from my point of view, I didn't have the mood to deal with my mother and Madam Chen anymore. Gong Er's Wife was so pampered, but she couldn't keep this child. The child in Aunt Chen's womb was always used as a bargaining chip.

Lan Ling and Lu Ke were waiting at the door. When they saw me come out, they hurriedly followed me. After exiting the courtyard, I lifted my leg and walked towards Grandmother's main house. I vaguely understood Grandmother's intentions, but I didn't dare to confirm it. I had to go back and ask around.

Normally, if it was Lu Ping who followed me, she would have to ask me. Now, Lan Li and Lu Ke followed me. The two of them followed me silently into my grandmother's courtyard.
